| ==Overview==

| '''Influenzavirus B''' is a genus in the [[virus]] family [[Orthomyxoviridae]]. The only species in this genus is called "Influenza B virus".

| | |

For example at the [[United States|U.S.]]'s [[Food and Drug Administration]]'s (FDA) [[Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research]]'s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee's 101st meeting of February 16 2005, an extensive discussion and vote was held concerning next year's flu vaccine virus selection including which influenza B strain to use in the formulation of the flu vaccine:
| |
| <blockquote>"For [[Influenza B]], the question was asked: are there new strains present? And the answer was yes, and in 2004, the majority of the viruses were similar to a strain called B/Shanghai/361/2002, which is from the so-called B/Yamagata/1688 [[hemagglutinin]] lineage. That lineage was not the one that was being used in the vaccine that was current last year. In a minority of the strains that were found during the epidemiological studies were similar to the strain that was in the vaccine for last year, which was B/Hong Kong/330/2001, which belongs to the HA lineage that we represent with the strain B/Victoria/287. In answer to the question were these new viruses spreading, the answer, of course, is definitely yes. The Fujian-like viruses had become widespread around the world and were predominant everywhere, and these B/Shanghai-like strains at the time we were holding this meeting in February were predominant not only in North America and the United States, but also in Asia and Europe."<ref>Transcript of U.S. FDA Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee's 101st meeting of February 16, 2005.

| ==Morphology==
| |
| The Influenza B virus [[capsid]] is enveloped while its [[virion]] consists of an envelope, a matrix protein, a nucleoprotein complex, a [[nucleocapsid]], and a [[polymerase]] complex. It is sometimes spherical and sometimes [[filamentous]]. Its 500 or so surface projections are made of hemagglutinin and [[neuraminidase]].<ref name="ICTVdb">{{cite web | url = http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ICTVdb/ICTVdB/00.046.0.04.htm | title = ICTVdB Virus Description - 00.046.0.04.

| | |
| ==Nucleic Acid==
| |
| The Influenza B virus genome is 14648 [[nucleotides]] long and consists of eight segments of linear negative-sense, single-stranded RNA. The multipartite genome is encapsidated, each segment in a separate nucleocapsid, and the nucleocapsids are surrounded by one envelope.<ref name="ICTVdb"/>
